Abstract

This paper aims to verify whether blogging helps to improve the quality of EFL written competence within Content and Language Integrated Learning. We conducted an experiment with learners studying geography using English in the 3rd year of secondary education during the academic year 2017-2018. One group of 11 students participated in the treatment group through blogging, while a second group of 11 learners completed the experiment within the control group using Google Docs. In the case of the treatment group, learners completed 5 different written tasks through blogging and, regarding the control group, students completed 5 tasks via Google Docs. Regarding the treatment group, an interactive digital written task is also analysed. The outcomes showed that there was a relevant difference between the treatment group and the control group. This confirms the research hypothesis, which is that the treatment group would achieve better outcomes than the control group.
